   * You can set the decoding behavior when the input bytes contain leftover trailing bits that cannot be created by a valid encoding. These can be bits that are

   * <li>Strict: The decoding will raise an {@link IllegalArgumentException} if trailing bits are not part of a valid encoding. Any unused bits from the final
   * character must be zero. Impossible counts of entire final characters are not allowed.</li>
